NRHEG’s previous school superintendent, Dennis Goodwin, was a down-to-earth enough  guy, but he liked the idea of being called doctor. He felt it was a title he earned, and you respected him for it.

It’s also a title earned by Dale Carlson, NRHEG’s new superintendent, but he’s not a stickler for formalities.

“I hope it’s Dale,” he said. “I’m really more of a first-name kind of person.”

Carlson, 53, comes off as a warm, genuine person, with an easy smile and a Leave It To Beaver upbringing. He’s guiding NRHEG on an interim basis, though he’s not ruling out the possibility of a long-term contract at some point if both sides see fit.

Would you like to help build a new home and help provide for a needy family in Honduras?

Several members of First Baptist Church in Clarks Grove are again looking forward to traveling to Honduras on New Year’s Day, where they will be doing just that.

Most of the homes in Azacualpa, Honduras are very primitive compared to our little corner of the world.

Carolyn Weller and Mike Peterson from First Baptist have helped build new homes for needy families in Honduras many times before, and Michelle Peterson will be making her third trip. Mike, Michelle and Carolyn pay for their own airfare, which Carolyn said was more costly this year.  Ten members of the Fillmore Free Methodist Church, located in the Harmony area, also plan to join them.
